Title: Star Wars Amplifone issue
Post by: Motaliano on February 01, 2013, 05:46:17 pm
     I just did a cap kit and replaced the HV flyback with a new one from Arcade Cup.  On power up I am blowing the F3 & F4 fuses on my deflection board.  Any thoughts as to where I should begin?  Is it possible a bad power supply is causing this issue? 

      The game played blind when I bought it so I don't think there is an issue with the boards.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

John,

     I know your SW has an Amplifone as well.  I have read alot about how to "Bulletproof" Amplifone deflection and HV boards.  Just curious what you did, if anything, to your Amplifone boards?  Do you think a cap kit and new HV transformer is good enough or should extra precautions be taken in your opinion?

Well, I actually did nothing to mine. I bought mine already bullet proofed. Sadly, I don't have much to add to this conversation! SORRY!!!!
